A Great Little Place

We were in Arcata for a week to visit family. This VRBO was conveniently located to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping and walkable to the Marsh which is a bird sanctuary. The unit is cozy and is furnished with everything you need. It was located on the second floor. The washer and dryer is off the car port down below and it costs 3.50 to wash and dry a load. Make sure you have plenty of quarters. We found you had to wash the dishes and silverware before using as we discovered some were not clean because there is no dishwasher. We slept very comfortably. We would stay here again if we are in the area.

Arcata home

This home in arcata was perfect. Close enough to walk everywhere in arcata, not only that but just a short trip to Trinidad or eureka. 5 minute walk to downtown arcata and farmers market with all the shops, 4 minute walk to the Finnish hot tubs also. The home was very cozy, clean and the bedding was very comfortable. Had everything we needed for the days we stayed. There were plenty of bath towels and the water pressure in the shower was awesome! Very quiet location and safe. Parking was adequate and off the street, the parking has sensored lighting when you pull in which I really liked for late nights. Thank you Larry for your hospitality. We will be back.

Not up to standards

The layout of this 2 bedroom apartment was the right size for 2 adults, and the location was perfect, but it was dirty. It was obvious the stove top, countertops, and refrigerator hadn't been cleaned. There was heavy dust on all windowsills, dust and detritus along the baseboards in the kitchen and bathroom, dust on all the shelves and kitchen lampshade, the bathroom mirror hadn't been cleaned, there were towels in the laundry hamper (which turned out to be clean), and there was a hole in the bottom sheet on one of the beds. To his credit, when I called the owner, he sent over the housekeeper who did her best to remedy some of these problems before she had to go to her next job. He even offered us a full refund if we wanted to find something else. Since it was dark and pouring rain, we decided to make the best of it, and enjoyed our stay after doing some cleaning of our own. This really could be a nice place, but needs some detailed care. The sink in the bathroom has a big crack in it, one of the lampshades in the living room is torn, and light bulbs in the 3 lamps in the living room are all different shades. On the other hand, all the electronics worked great, and the instructions from the owner, even though he wasn't on site, were clear and accurate. He and the housekeeper were also very considerate about our sensitivity to perfumes. We absolutely loved the location as we could walk just about everywhere in between exploring the redwoods, which was the reason for our trip.

Stay in Arcata

Very clean. Great coin operated laundry. Adequate cookware and dishes. Host responded quickly and was able to accommodate us when we needed to extend our stay a day. Keurig needed maintenance so it was a little tricky making coffee. Unit was close to the plaza, a good thing for access to shops, grocery, but there a few sketchy folks nearby which made my teen a little uncomfortable. Also it would have been nice to have a broom available so we could clean up after ourselves.

Enjoyable stay, exactly as pictured

House was in a great location, easy to find. Walking distance to grocery store and The Plaza. Very clean, nice decor and a nice fire place. Full kitchen, coffee, tea and popcorn were on hand when we got there 😊 plenty of towels and linens. There was also a desktop fan in each room. The 2 rooms were identical and comfy. Only 2 suggestions I would make. Have a fan available for the living room (traffic is a little loud if you open the windows). And have a porcelain toilet seat instead of porous wood for sanitation purposes. This house was a delight and I would definitely stay there again.

Great spot

The house was very clean and in a great location. A short walk (a couple blocks) to two grocery stores and several restaurants. The owners were very helpful and called me mid-stay to check in. I didn’t need anything, but I knew if I did I could contact them and get help. There were nice/thoughtful small touches like Keurig pods and microwave popcorn available.

Cozy and convenient

While the property is located in the heart of Downtown Arcata and is walking distance to everything, the real star of this rental experience was the property manager/owner. I've rented through VRBO many times in the past and have never experienced such thorough details in advance and such a warm welcome upon arrival. We didn't have a need for anything, but it was very reassuring to know that we would likely have a quick response if there was a need. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we slept great both nights. This is such a perfect home for visiting my daughter while she is up at Cal Poly Humboldt for college for the next four years. I'll be back for certain! Thank you for opening up your home!!!
